My 6g74 tt build

[n2nsanity]

Yeah, I test fitted the rear pre cat delete after fitting the stock one. It is probably 1/2 inch off where it is supposed to bolt to the stay. The O2 flange is effed up which I knew about. Plan now is to get rid of the POS and gut the stocker instead.

I might still try to make it work. But, I might also enjoy taking it off to see how far I can throw it.

Already have a used oem part on the way.

Wired up o2 extension (on engine harness side).
Figure out why boost gauge wasn't working. Forgot I needed a new ferrule, lol.
Flanges will be here tomorrow, so I'm going to try to make it fit

You didn't solder them did you? I forget the reason why and I'm not sure if I really believe it matters if you are a few feet back from the sensor but they say not to solder them.

I did, but I extended the wires on the engine harness and didn't touch the actual o2 sensor or wires on it.
The deal with the o2 sensors is the wires need to be able to breathe because the sensor itself isn't vented any more.
I've come to the conclusion that as long as you do it anywhere on the other side of the connector, it's fine.

Also if I need to replace my o2 later, I just plug a new one in. Which is also easier, because my connector is now outside the car.
Don't have to touch the center console or pull the heatshield from underneath. But I do have to worry about the connector getting dirty, so I'll wrap it up in something.

Cool, yeah that's pretty much what I thought.

New flanges came in. Installed them for spacers.
Topped off coolant and oil.
Still a little low on gear oil I think. Need to check that again later.

Drove the beast to work tonight
Was hard not to spin tires, lol.
This 500 mile break-in is going to be even harder than I thought.

[n2nsanity]

It's only like 3 miles, but I was going to log the trip.
Having trouble getting evoscan to install.
Anyone else use it on windows 8?
Or do I need to install a vm of xp or something and run it on that?

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

mine's running fine on windows 8 pro 2.6 and 2.9

Check your FTDI drivers for Evoscan. The first version that supported Win 8 was 2.08.26 (Nov 2012). Current version is 2.08.28.

I downloaded the latest version (from jan 2013 I believe). It was giving me shit about .net framework which is already installed...
I'm sure I'll figure out. Just wondering if anyone had compatibility issues.
